Echoes

The quality I look for most is optimism: especially optimism in the face of reverses and apparent defeat.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

Optimism is true moral courage.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live – I have no use for the sour-faced man – and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do.

All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.

Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

Never despair.

They can, because they think they can.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

While I breathe, I hope.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.

Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.

To the quiet mind all things are possible.

He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
